as a Greenfield project in eastern
India.2nd largest steel producer in
Europe and has plants in UK and
Holland.
The European operations are a
subsidiary of Tata Steel Group, one
of the worlds top ten steelproducers.
The combined Group has around
80,000 employees.

A commitment to environmentally sound practices is part of many
businesses commitment to act responsibly.
Social responsibility refers to an organisations obligations to
maximise its long-term positive impacts and minimise its negative
impacts on society.
For a Steel industry, it is a core part of its vision to be the global steel
industry benchmark for value creation and corporate citizenship.

Tata Steel is committed to tackling the challenges of sustainability. This means that it
takes its responsibility towards both the environment and its communities seriously,
balancing these against the need to make a profit.
It has put systems in place to meet international standards for environmental
management such as ISO 14001.

Business Ethics & Sustainability
Business ethics means taking the right course.
Acting ethically takes into account all the factors
of doing business which include production,
business processes, and the companys behaviorwith its customers and the communities in which it
operates.
It is about doing the right thing in everything the
company does.
8/3/2019 Business Ethics and Sustainability in Steel Industry - Tata Steel by Waqas Ali Tunio

Tata Steel has five core values
which define the ethics of the
company:
1. Integrity
2. Understanding
3. Excellence
4. Unity
5. Responsibility
These values are evident in
everything that it does and
drive the ethical behavior of the
company.
For Tata Steel, taking
responsibility for tackling the
challenges of sustainability
follows naturally from this
ethical stance.

The Tata Steel definition of sustainability is an enduring and balanced approach to economic
activity, environmental responsibility and societal benefit.
This naturally involves taking a long-term perspective on balancing economic, environmental
and social impacts of business.
We generate wealth for the people. What
comes from the people must, to the extent
possible, therefore get back to the people.- Bharat Ratna, J R D Tata

Making Ethical & Sustainable DecisionsCurrent laws encourage ethical and sustainable practices e.g. anti-pollution laws
place strict limits on levels of CO2 emissions.
Tata Steel not only abides by these laws, but with its high ethical standards, aims
to go beyond the minimum required by law, making a positive contributionwherever possible.
This approach to CSR ensures that Tata Steel can tackle the relevant sustainability
challenges. This is good for the environment, for the people that work with and for
Tata Steel, for the communities in which Tata Steel operates and also good for
customers and therefore for business and profits.

Tata Steel builds ethical and sustainable practices into all areas of its operations.
Steel has the benefit of being truly recyclable but is produced by a process that produces
CO2 emissions.
Tata Steel is working to reduce these emissions using new technology and practices
e.g. it has introduced technology to re-use gases produced to create electricity equivalent to
10% of its needs. This has reduced the need for natural gas for power and helped reduce its
CO2 emissions by nearly 300,000 tonnes.
Tata Steel has set goals to reduce CO2 emissions to less than 1.7 tonnes per tonne of crude
steel by 2012.

Tata Steel has continued to invest effort and resources in relation to the five key
priorities that underpin its vision with regard to climate change. These priorities
are to:
1. Continue to achieve emission reductions.
2. Invest in longer-term breakthrough technologies for producing low-carbon steels.
3. Develop new products and services that generate lower CO2 emissions through the
life cycle.
4. Actively engage the entire workforce in this challenge.
5. Lead by example within the global steel industry.

Tata Steel promotes lifecycle thinking so that
decisions are taken on the basis of manufacture, use
and end-of-life phases for any material or product.
Life cycle assessments (LCA) assess the trueenvironmental impact of a product over its full life.
Tata looks at the environmental impact of
manufacturing a material, using it and finally
disposing of the product.
Through LCA Tata Steel is able to show that, in many
cases, steel provides the most environmentally-
friendly material solution.

Promoting Sustainability of Steel Tata Steel demonstrates ethical and sustainable practice in its own operations.
It goes further in encouraging its customers and markets to also make decisions based on
sound sustainability principles. The three examples (given on next slides) demonstrate where life cycle thinking is helping
Tata Steel to promote the use of steel, while at the same time encouraging ethical behavior.

Most CO2 emissions come from cars,
referred to as tailpipe emissions. The laws
targeting the reduction only look at car
emissions and not those caused bymanufacturing and scrapping vehicles.
Use-phase emissions can be reduced by
making the car lighter as it uses less fuel. But
materials such as aluminium, or reinforced
plastics have high environmental costs in
manufacturing and are not as easy to recycleas steel. The savings made from using them
are usually outweighed by the CO2 produced
in the other life-cycle phases.
Outcome: Tata Steel is now influencing the
next generation of legislation to move
towards an LCA approach rather than just
looking at tailpipe emissions.

Many consumer brands are keen
to give an image of environmental
responsibility by reducing
packaging or its weight. LCA studies
by Tata Steel have shown that
focusing on weight reduction does
not necessarily make for more
sustainable packaging. Targets just
on weight reduction could lead to
the wrong decision, for example, to
use alternative packaging materials
that could take more energy to
produce and are not always
completely recycled when they are
disposed of.
Outcome: Tata Steel and its
industry partners used their LCA
approach to persuade regulatorsto take a different view on steel
used in packaging. This resulted in
national recycling targets taking a
full life-cycle approach by using
actual recycling rate as the
measure, rather than reducing thetotal wei ht of cans.

There has been a revival in the
use of timber frames for
buildings which is perceived as
being a sustainable and green
resource. However, when Tata
Steel looked at the LCA of timber
in terms of where it came from
and how it was recycled, it found
that carbon emissions were
similar to a typical steel framed
building as most timber from
demolished buildings is either
land-filled or incinerated.
Outcome: Tata found out that
using a steel frame (where
studies have shown that 99% is
recycled) produces less CO2 overthe entire life-cycle than using a
timber frame. The results from
the LCA study of building
structures are being used to
provide facts to architects,
engineers and legislatorsre ardin material choice.

A commitment to ethical behavior
is often shown in the Corporate
Social Responsibility
(CSR) policy of a business.
The Tata Steel sustainability policy
states that: Our policy is to conduct
our activities in relation to economic
progress, social responsibility and
environmental concerns in an
integrated way in order to be more
sustainable and to meet the
expectations of our stakeholders.
Corporate Social Responsibility

Sustainable practices are often the best business options for a company. Taking
responsibility for sustainability is increasingly important both to ensure reputation and also to
satisfy the demands of a range of stakeholders. Benefits include an enhanced reputation &
greater customer loyalty, fewer raw materials, less power and more recycling.
Taking responsibility for sustainability is one way for Tata Steel to compete. It also helps the
company to leverage its position to promote its own products. The benefits are also felt by
employees, who are better motivated to work for a company that they perceive as doing
the right thing.

Conclusion
Tata Steel has shown that it is
committed to sustainable andenvironmental practices as part of its
overall aim to act responsibly.
It shows commitment and progress
towards key targets of sustainability as
well as encouraging sustainable decision
making in its customers and within theirmarkets.
The key to the success of this approach
is to recognize the unique properties of
steel as a recyclable material and to
ensure that measurements of
sustainability are taken over the entire life
cycle of a product, not just the use-phase.
